Aftermarket AR triggers...which one?

Rock River National Match. Inexpensive and easy to install. If you pay attention to which way the springs go. Don't ask me how I know that...
 
Hands down the Geissele. I like the flat bow of my S3G and it feels more like a single stage if you prefer that. As much as I like it though, I just bought a second DMR. Absolutely best AR trigger I have used.

The Spikes nickel boron breaks smooth, but way too heavy for a hunting or range gun. I'm not a fan of the RRA triggers. I've used self improved stock triggers that broke crisper.
 
I have the ar gold trigger in my stag and i like it a lot better than my buddies rock river and my brothers timney. It breaks right at 2 1/2 pounds.
 
I love the RRA one and for the money it can not be beat! My next one will be a Geissele as most have stated it is the daddy of 2 stage triggers!

Lot's of good vibes on the DMR. How do you have the pull weight(s) adjusted?
 
All of mine have the RRA nm 2 stage. First thing I do is a quick polish with Flitz then lube them well and install. For the money I dont think they can be beat. The polishing makes a huge difference on them, dont have to wait for the hammer to wear in. I owned a Geissele, but sold it and put the RRA back in, it just feels better to me.
 
I am a long time bolt rifle shooter and am not fond of the two stage triggers.

I have a Timney 3 lb trigger in my RockRiver Predator in .223 and just recently bought a CMC trigger for the 6.8X43 that I am putting together.

I really like the Timney and would buy it again for the .223.

I plan on shooting SSA Tactical ammo and some pretty stout hand loads in the 6.8. Both the Tactical and my hand loads will be using CCI 41 mil spec primers. I want a trigger that has a full mil spec hammer spring to be assured that I do not have FTF's due to light primer strikes.

I don't have the 6.8 upper yet so I can't give a range report, but I have the lower completed and dry firing the CMC trigger (blocking the hammer), I like it very well. The trigger pull is slightly stronger than the Timney, but the break is very good with no creep. I think the CMC trigger is going to serve my needs with this rifle just fine.
